From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | types‎ | numeric limits

static const int max_exponent10; |  | (until C++11)
static constexpr int max_exponent10; |  | (since C++11)

The value of std::numeric_limits<T>::max_exponent10 is the largest positive number n such that \(\scriptsize 10^n\)10n
is a representable finite value of the floating-point type `T`.

### Example

Demonstrates the relationships of max_exponent, `max_exponent10`, and max() for the type float:

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <limits>

    int main()
    {
        std::cout << "max() = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max() << '\n'
                  << "max_exponent10 = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max_exponent10 << '\n'
                  << std::hexfloat << '\n'
                  << "max() = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max() << '\n'
                  << "max_exponent = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max_exponent << '\n';
    }

Output:

    max() = 3.40282e+38
    max_exponent10 = 38

    max() = 0x1.fffffep+127
    max_exponent = 128
